Glad its back out.
I had no Idea how clean everything has to be, freaking crazy when they grow out in the open air and dirt!
I think the one take style of videos you do adds personality. In this modern age, its refreshing and highly marketable to know where your food is coming from, how it was made and who made it.
Kyle Phillipson Thank you so much & Preach! It wasn’t until I started gardening years ago that I realized the importance of locally grown food especially. Thank a farmer, right?!?!
Get this lady a wireless lav!! Great info.
Jewell, you're my hero. I never comment on videos I watch, but I've gotten so much help from the tutorials you've uploaded. I really appreciate it! Very generous of you to share your process. Doing a trial run with lions mane and pink oysters this summer. Took a Peter Mccoy cultivation class a few years ago and didn't have the time, space, or resources to get started. Trying to get access to access to a flow hood and some equipment through my university.
You're passionate about this and it shows. I'm new to this and I love your videos, they are very instructive :) Thanks from Québec !
Lol I did laugh at you for the sealer... love your work, more power to you
You know, it would be smarter to edit out all my stupid "jewell-ism's" to give myself more cred, but screw it I'd be editing all damn day:)
Jewell's Funky Fungi we love your Jewell-isms keep it in :)
Thank you for sharing this helpful video. Very informative and I appreciate the tips for people starting out. Peace.
Great video!! I also agree with you on the Paul Stamets things you said. I have that same flow hood and agree that it's small also expensive too. Secondly I also have a trash can to throw napkins away every 2 mins when I'm doing lab work. Great job and keep making videos!!! Mushlove-Gee
IKR?!?!?! Like who am I to question or go against Mr. Stamets BUT let's be practical here folks!!!!
you rock ...thanks for all the awesome knowlege..cheers to your business and my soon to be business..peace
Hey Jewell, thanks for another great video, and yeah I've been subscribed to T.R. at E.A. for a while now. You're both two of my fav channels. I believe what Paul was talking about with the garage can is, you don't want a container of snot rags, banana peals, and chicken bones in the corner of your clean room. You know, like don't empty the vacuum cleaner into the trash and start opening spawn bags. I don't know the guy but love him too! Keep up the great work, you're channel has been informative and inspirational.

Very informative vids cheers from New Zealand
When I wipe all my stuff down I have one main microfiber cloth that I saturate in iso and use the entire time. I wipe down the whole work area and utensils first, then bags, jars, dishes, etc as I go. I may need to give it another squirt from time to time while I work to keep it really saturated to the point where if I squeeze it, I have a steady stream of alcohol run out. I've never had a contamination issue result from this practice(even doing petri dishes) and I'm not wasting paper towels and I use less Isopropyl. I can compulsively wipe down the work area without having to reach for the squirt bottle. When I'm done I let it dry and bleach it with the laundry. Saves resources, money, and time :-)
The philosophy behind not having a trash can is so that you throw things on the ground. That way you're not sending over and trying to put things in a trash can. It's an aseptic technique so you don't have to leave the sterile field
Forehead kisses are indeed underrated
Hi Jewell, love the videos. Question for you, is it necessary to use the anti bacterial spray AND the alcohol when cleaning or can you choose one over the other? Thanks!
look at the size of those hepa filters! holeee shiiite. it must be nice. its good to know how the other half lives...a mere pauper am I in comparison to that hepa filled cleanroom
I want to see how you cut the bags and position them and place them in the grow room.
Yeaaaaah! North spore maine pride! Haha thanks for the video...should be knocking up a few bags this weekend...do you have to get permits or anything to sell privatly to restaurants? Thanks for what ya do! Appreciate it!
Lol, thanks! In Maryland we don't need a permit BUT it helps to be GAP certified if you need street cred. I've done the training but have not had my inspection yet
Excellent video and invaluable experience demonstrated. I would advise you critique your sterile technique by watching this video. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Pro tip for you: ditch the nasty aerosol cans and make your own cleaner from 10% bleach water solution. You can even save money and use it instead of iso alcohol. Also dilute your 91% alcohol to 70% solution if you're going to continue to use that. You'll save money and it's been scientifically proven to be the optimal water ratio to help break down cell walls so the alcohol can actually kill the bacteria.
Thank you for youre great videos! I have a problem: I don´t want to use this kind of bags, cause in our place it´s mor eand more forbidden to use not reusable bags in farmers market (and thats okay). I need better solutions, do you have one? Thanks a lot!!! Greetings from Germany.
Have you heard of anyone using StarSan? It's a food-safe sanitizer that you dilute with water. Contact time is like 30 seconds.
Lots of home and commercial brewers use it to sanitize everything that comes into contact with the fermentables. I've used it for hundreds of batches and have never had a single infection or impact on flavor.
kelly hh I use Sanidate! I’m sure pretty much the same thing but yeah I use it a ton
FYI, Sanidate seems really expensive. A gallon of no-mix Sanidate costs about $90 on amazon. 16 ounces of StarSan make 80 gallons of sterilizer (you mix it yourself) and costs about $22 on most beer brew supply websites. Just FYI. Your videos are helping and motivating me, so I'm just trying to give back a little.
What wood/supplement ratios do you use to grow shiitake?
If I could suggest a poncho and elbow length gloves?
Just dont leave the trash in there/ have one with a lid.
Good vids!!
A poncho?!?!?! Lol!!! How about a lab coat...that's more girly chic! :)
I like disposable lab wear
I think that Paul was referring to a standard trash can that has random normal trash in it.. I honestly don't think that he was talking about alcohol wipes and things like that you have to have somewhere to throw stuff.and while I understand you were level of cleanliness because you are business and I agree 100% with what you were doing and what you were saying you should see my lab it's horrifyingly dirty LOL I just grow from my own personal use so I'm only screwing up a couple of dollars worth of mushrooms even if I wipe out everything LOL
I have built a laminar flow Hood but I don't even use it all I use is a still air box that I built out of acrylic. Out of the past 75 agar dishes I only lost two to trichaderma. In those two were Spore introductions so that was expected. I attribute my ridiculously high success rate with agar with using ozone meticulously. Ozone kills bacteria on contact it takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to kill most spores however. You can literally pipe in ozonated are into a still air box that has a couple of trees with spores from Spore prints and kill every single bacteria in those trays without worrying about killing the spores off.. I keep ozone running into the still there box while I do everything and every time I open the jar of agar I hold the tube and blow ozone directly into the bottle when I cap it again so anything that floated in gets killed. You have to be careful when using flammable things like ethanol or isopropanol because in theory the O3 can ignite it. Now having said that I have attempted to do that on a small scale and was unsuccessful.
I had very high failure rate before I introduced ozone it's a very cheap and easy addition and I believe everyone should use it in their lab areas.
Where did you get the flow hood ? Or did you built it
👋 hola 👋. 🇨🇱
Where did you get you flow hoods?
Will this blocks work for Shiitake as well?
Hi I want to set up a mushroom farm in Iceland, where can I learn this process for professional purposes, are there training courses in the US I can attend ? Love your videos but its hard to base a business off a few youtube videos even if they are good. best regards
You should do a batch of p.cubensis. and research microdosing. All natural nootropic. Increases hyperconnectivity of the two hemispheres (left brain talks to right brain and vice versa easier), decreases depression, elevates mood, increased creativity, better recall, increased neuro-plasticity, etc. I find my mind just works better.
Hello Jewells, nice video :)) I tried to find Earth Angel Mushrooms on the internet which I did but when I opened their site there was nothing there ...what gives ?
peter bochek Yeah dude you need to just email me & I’ll hook it up. We’re taking orders now via phone & email until the purchasing site is up. Serenityfarmmd@gmail.com me:)
Good Morning Jewells , thank you for your response :) Could you please give me a ball park price for Earth Angels spawn bags ? We might break a record here in West Pa today , its suppose to be 76 degrees !! Crazy weather indeed. Have a great day :))
peter bochek I know right?!? 70 today 75 tomorrow. I’m happy but my kings sure as hell won’t be 😬 Anyhow, the bags are $25 for 6lb plus shipping. Very reasonable!
Although this will probably work just fine, I see some potential areas that are not cleaned enough and possible cross-contamination/contamination issues. Being a bit of a germophobe, I know way too much about cleaning. 91% isopropyl alcohol is my friend. It has so many uses.
I can't find those flow hoods anywhere, and they aren't on your kit, I don't suppose you happen to remember where you purchased those from by chance? (EDIT - Nevermind, found it in an older video! Envirco Hepa Modules for anyone else curious)
Kyle Alders they sell them on EBay but they go fast now. Search “hepa module”
I'm noticing that! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, I hope all is going well with setting up the new facility. Binge watched all your videos, haha!
Haha I like you
Come back
I wouldn't put your scoop into the sterilizer unless you know its polypropylene. Most other plastics melt or break down faster after sterilization. I agree with Thunderbolt Farm and Eric about the stainless steel.
About how many bags are you able to inoculate from that one bag using the scoop?
I agree on the scoop- a dishwasher gets to about 170-180 degrees & I run my sterilizer hotter so I never put in the sterilizer, but I actually just bought the scoop that Thunderbolt Farm suggested! As for the bags, it's hard to say because it depends on how big your bags are- you could do 5 lb or 10lb or anywhere in between for your batches so you have to adjust the spawn accordingly for that batch. The 5 lb bag will take half the spawn as the 10lb that's why I said to just keep some notes as to how much you used for your number of bags. For 10lb bags though I would use about 1 small heaping cup per bag & then heavy spawn anything leftover & note that for the next time.
Where did you get your flowhoods?
U ever thought bought using the poly rolls
I've only grown in monotub now and I bought some big bags like this and I'm going to do some sawdust blocks at I can't remember what I wrote down.... I think it was 2 lb of pellets 8 oz of bran and 1.4 L of water. Anybody does that sound right I have a bunch spawn jars that have just exploded with mycelium completely a hundred percent colonized in 6 days! I mean packed I don't even know if I'm going to be able to bust these things up!!! I know that some people use 50/50 sawdust to nutrient such as bran or soy husk Etc..
I've learned my lesson and I'm only going to do a couple of bags at a time until I get it right I only have he pressure canner that'll hold 2-10 lb blocks anyway! Oh yeah and in my substrate in the monotub so I've been growing it seems like the less you mess with the grain the better off you are in the faster it'll colonize I'm worried about smashing around the grain this vigorously
😂😂😂 which idiot commented wishing u good luck with ur 1st masters mix!?! In my defence i am Australian, and a HillBilly at that so maybe jus a little slow 😅. Another good vid sweetheart, lookin forward to ur next!
You're freaking hilarious, LOVE IT!!!! My kinda guy....you know I had to mention you, my bad!!!
Lmao. 1st thing i thought as soon as u said it.....DOH! 😂😂😂
Please be safe using that Pledge spray. My aunt was a devote user of Pledge and developed and died from a very rare cancer which the doctors had never seen before, and I am convinced it came from using that stuff all the time.
Jewell I saw your video on humidity control. Check out my last video for a way to empirically capture and graph your humidity and temperature. I'm right behind you setting up a farm. Please sub to my channel and leave comments and advice as I progress I would greatly appreciate it!
You could buy a medical style trashcan that has a lid and opens via a foot pedal.
This is shiitake mushroom...
Please can you tell me how much switch on your intake air ventilation in your mushroom room ? some interval ?..
Jozef Janech1 Do you mean the cost of the switch? If you mean the timing, I keep it on all the time when I’m doing lab work.
sorry for my english :) I thought air ventilation, fresh air. how much switch on per our ?
Jozef Janech1 I’m so sorry I just want to understand! Air ventilation- do you mean in the laboratory or in the growing room? The growing room is passive air intake (there are vents in the room that air comes in through). The labratory is the same way. It is not an airtight room there is natural airflow.
In growing room, there you havent timer for ventilation air, yes ? the translator on youtube is weak :))) and what you are using for temperature cold and hot ?.. climatization ? Thanks
Myers Mushrooms has a vid on it
We're can I get. Mosherm for tishiky. Moserum please
Paul stemets the human god saved the world!!!!
Life hack #386 - Break up the mycelium before you clean and open bag :)
Seriously, right?!?!?! The other day I shook a damn bag before I sealed it. Smart.
The massroom don't need the oxygen
i'm sorry, but, i though for "spawning step", the bag needed to be almost free of air, like almost under vaccum air-free tight sqeezed rigid blok , but in your video, you put air and squeez to see if their are leek after thermosealing ... i'm i missing something? anyway thanks for the good work and sharing, bye
Oh no, when you spawn a bag you want some air in there, it can be hard to shake if you don’t have enough air in it but then you check the seal by carefully pressing on iy
@@JewellsGardens thank you very much!!! I like your new hair cut btw!! :)
Joe Biden would love that shirt, LOL.
Creepy Uncle Joe
Where do you source your HEPA filters? Thanks
David Fricker I got them from EBay- they’re Envirco modules. I got them for $99 each plus $55 shipping which is a STEAL but I heard they’re gone. Check though!
SWEET!!! Get them while you can guys!
Whats a PSA,,,? Im in Australia
Do you mean public service announcement? To share information with other people!
It looks cpmplicate explanation.
It's funny you get yelled at if you worked in a clean room. You moved everything around as you wiped contaminating all the surfaces with the bottom of the objects that you moved
first vid. was ok. second two yak. back and forth all over the place. sorry but i couldn't sit through it all.
